Can't find it but am sure I'm missing it....what's engine spec?

As it's my 18 year old son's car it's just a 998 with a stage one kit - the insurance is expensive enough with all the other mods so the engine is going to have to wait until he's got some more years under his belt - so its a bit of a sheep in wolf's clothing  :D

Ok, so the MOT is done and dusted.

 

I took the Mini out today for it's first test drive and all is well. 

 

I didn't have time to go far but tomorrow, ill see if i can get a bit further afield and get some nice scenic photos of it to share.

 

Cheers

Hi Ben, before you take any more photos can you get Roger to put his hand in his pocket for a decent camera as your new one off of fleabay one is pants >_<

Hi Darren.

literally, all i am waiting on is the chrome edging to finish the car. everything depends on that. I believe Nuala sent you an email today about that.

 

Steve has already gone over the car and is happy with everything so it will pass no problem. It's just a formality :-)

 

Midget quote is worked out. I'm just waiting for it to be typed up. you will have that before friday incase you wanted to drop it down when you collect the Mini.

 

cheers

 

Ben

Hi Ben, following on from your email and me asking about the alarm it looks like we'll try and come down next week if we can arrange a good day and I might just bring the midget

great that the mini passed the MOT

cheers Darren

Ok Darren. sounds good

 

All we had to do for the MOT was adjust the emissions as they were slightly high which we was expecting

 

Cheers

Gave the Mini a wash this afternoon to get the dust off of it ready for fine polish and wax.

Still waiting for the chrome edging strips for the sills/arches.

 

It looks like the collection date for the Mini is next Thursday so it will soon be leaving us.

 

Cheers

Hi Ben,

 

That sounds very exciting, looking forward to seeing them

 

Does that mean the chrome sill/wheel arch trims have been done?

I'm doing them in the morning which means unfortunately, the photos were done without them :(

 

They still look fantastic though. I can't wait to get the finished pics back and put them up.

 

Cheers
